Hey Folks.

I have an issue with the homescreen customisation shortcut workaround. Wonder if I'm the only one?

I've always hated the Spotify black and green icon, so I set up a shortcut to the app on my homescreen and used a custom icon.

75% of the time, it does what it's supposed to do and opens the app (via a half second going through the Shortcuts app).

But the rest of the time, it just opens the Shortcuts app and lists my shortcuts.

Sometimes it does this (attached). Other times, it has a play symbol instead of a stop symbol. Tapping it does nothing.

I've tried replacing the shortcut from scratch but with same issue. The only way to solve it is to restart the phone but that's a pain.

Any ideas? Thanks.
